If someone were to ask you if you had a worldview, how would you answer? The more likely scenario is hearing the question from a friend or family member, “This world is in such a mess, what’s happening?” It is wise to anticipate this type of question frequently, especially living in a 24X7 news cycle. In fact, at the time of this writing hearts and minds are reeling in the aftermath of another school shooting. It happened on Wednesday of this week (September 4, 2024) at Apalachee High School in Winder, Georgia. To be sure, a quick and callous answer should be avoided; however, the question could lead to a thoughtful discussion about eternal matters. Look for the Holy Spirit’s leading in every encounter with another person, listen carefully, and respond appropriately (Galatians 5:22-23).
Our friend and brother, Bob Snelling wrote this piece over a month ago. He could not have anticipated the tragic events of September 4th, yet he was keenly aware of the human condition and the ever-present trouble in the world.
